Is the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) meeting today's finance and
technology needs? Is the code exploding or imploding? The
Massachusetts Bar Association is proud to co-sponsor, with New
England Law | Boston's Center for Business Law, a Uniform
Commercial Code (UCC) Conference, which will feature leading
national authorities on current issues bearing upon the scope of
the UCC's article 2 (sales) and the application of article 9
(secured transactions). The panelists will discuss related bodies
of law, including the American Law Institute's Principles of the
Law of Software Contracts.

The article 2 panel, beginning at 1 p.m., will discuss attempts to
revise article 2, contracts for the development and transfer of
software, bankruptcy claims and defining electricity as a
"good."

"This conference will bring together students, academics, and
practitioners to explore current issues about the scope of the
code," MBA Business Law Section Council Chair Francis C. Morrissey
said. "Both new practitioners as well as seasoned lawyers with
extensive experience with the UCC will find the conference
extremely valuable."
